Do not fill this in! ===Hus and the Czech language=== The works of Jan Hus incorporate reforms to medieval [[Czech orthography]], including the "hook" ([[háček]]) diacritic which was used to form the [[grapheme]]s {{angle bracket|č}}, {{angle bracket|ě}}, {{angle bracket|š}}, {{angle bracket|ř}} and {{angle bracket|ž}}, which replaced [[digraph (orthography)|digraphs]] like {{angle bracket|cz}}, {{angle bracket|ie}}, {{angle bracket|sch}}, {{angle bracket|rz}} and {{angle bracket|zs}}; the "dot" above letters for strong accent,{{clarify|date=October 2019}} as well as the acute accent to mark long vowels {{angle bracket|á}}, {{angle bracket|é}}, {{angle bracket|í}}, {{angle bracket|ó}}, and {{angle bracket|ú}}, in order to represent each [[phoneme]] by a single [[grapheme|symbol]]. Some sources mention documented use of the special symbols in Bible translations (1462), the Schaffhausen Bible, and handwritten notes in the Bible. The symbol {{angle bracket|ů}} (instead of {{angle bracket|uo}}) came later. The book ''[[Orthographia Bohemica]]'' (1406) was attributed to Hus by [[František Palacký]], but it is possible that it was compiled by another author from Charles University.
